Buff-Breasted Flycatcher in southeast Arizona. Chiricahua Mountains

I took all of these photos in southeast Arizona during the last week of July, 2012. The photos are either from the Chiricahua Mountains. During this trip, we stayed at the Cave Creek Ranch near Portal. This was our second time staying at this ranch, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying there if you are ever in the area. The ranch is covered with numerous birds and the view from anywhere on the ranch is breathtaking, as the ranch is surrounded by huge mountains with magnificent rock formations, some with boulders that appear to be over 1000 feet tall!

The photos taken in this gallery were shot with either a Canon 550d or 40d, with a Canon 500mm f4 IS lens. I hope you enjoy these images of God's creation!
